Venue for First Obama Foundation Summit Only Half Full
Canada Free Press ^ | 11/02/17 | Judi McLeod

For all of their hoopla, and even with Prince Harry as a drawing card, Barack and Michelle Obama could only fill half of the Chicago venue for their first Obama Foundation international summit

When the mighty have finally fallen you don’t get to hear it because it’s like not being anywhere near the forest when the tree comes crashing down.

In spite of all the hoopla about his $1 billion presidential center being the go-to place where civic youth will be taught how to ‘community organize’ the world, the venue kicking off Barack Obama’s First Obama Foundation international summit, was only “half full”.

What the heck? Liberals didn’t want to go for days of partying and bull sessions full of their favorite liberal talking points? I’m shocked.

All the countries that gave to crooked Hillary won’t be giving to Obama in my opinion. They really don’t like BO and he has no power for their pay to play money. Hillary was SOS so they thought they would get favors in return. There are only so many white liberals that will prop up the Obamas. Michelle has made it clear that she hates men and whites, so good luck with that “library”.

I think any elected, or formerly elected, official who sets up a Foundation which they promote or help with should be required to GIVE UP ANY GOVERNMENT RETIREMENT or OTHER benefits!

Obama should offer to beatbox next time. Bet it would fill up fast. Everyone loves a high profile train wreck.

Maybe that’s why the poll was released yesterday that Michelle Obama would win the Democrat nomination in 2020 if she were to run. Got to have a reason for the cash to flow.

About 5,000 showed for this worldwide event, half the capacity of the arena at best. Even with “rock stars” BO and Chewbacca, Common, Chance the Rapper, Prince Harry, Caroline Kennedy and other leftard VIPs, this is event is a total flop.

LMAO the schadenfreude is delicious.

I just did several Google searches re: the dismal attendance at the “Obama Summit.”

There is nothing in the Fake News Media covering what a bomb this summit has been. Zero. Zip. Nada.

Bwhah hah hah, the Fake News Media is very quiet about this, how embarassing for BO and Chewbacca!!!

Didn’t see that poll. Yes they need some influence for the cash flow and they don’t have it— poor things!
